Leiberman and Collins want to "fix mistakes, not blame"...The fix is in
on both sides. What is wrong with these people? Lieberman said we were "attacked"--he's stuck on stupid--Mr. Terrorist Fighter himself. Any investigation should NOT be an academic exercise in govermental responsiveness and systems analysis. PEOPLE DIED!!!Thousands of them!!! Those who did not have been displaced from their homes, lost everything! Some will have suffered with their physical health and mental well being. There are children out there who have lost parents--little babies who will never know their mothers or fathers. How many died of hunger and thirst?

THIS WAS NOT A MISTAKE!! THIS WAS GROSS NEGLIGENCE THROUGH THE WILLFUL DESTRUCTION OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE!! WE CANNOT LET THESE PEOPLE GET BY WITH THIS!!

JUSTICE FOR NO!! JUSTICE--DEMAND IT!!

Sorry for so many caps, but this casual, business as usual crap I'm hearing from * & the Congress is really pissing me off.

2. Fixing the mistakes requires the impeachment of bu$h
then trial and imprisonment.
It would also require the imprisonment of:
KKKarl Rove
Dick Cheney
Donald Rummsfeld
Paul Wolfowitz
Codi Rice

Who have I missed?

5. Lieberman is the Dem 'fixer' for the Bush government...
Lieberman has been in the forefront in 'fixing' problems and covering up for the Bush government with phony investigations.

This is the 9-11 commission all over again.

You know the FIX IS IN when they begin by saying they won't hold anyone...especially Bush...accountable.

8. Fix the mistakes? Not blame?
Cool, let's let everyone out of prison because why blame those who commit crimes?
I'm sure they'd all agree. Prisons are full because of the blame game.

And you don't see the bush gang blaming anyone! Well except the state and local authorities and the victims for not leaving and the looters for wanting food and water and shoes and boots and clothes to wear after being in toxic water.
But other then that he doesn't blame anyone.

14. You could've stopped at "Lieberman"
and saved yourself some typing. We can already see him wearing his "just happy to be here" face getting a Rose Garden handshake from Dubya for a job well done.

16. LIeberman is a Remora.
If Lieberman were a fish, he'd be a Lemora. Republicans would be sharks:


"The shark suckers or remoras (Fam. Echeneididae) are not parasites, since they do not obtain their food supply directly from the sharks or other fishes to which they are found attached. Instead they are "commensals", which means that they merely live attached to and in association with the larger fishes. The remoras have a remarkable, shield-shaped sucking disk (actually a modification of the dorsal fin) on the top of their heads. By means of this disk, they can slide about freely over the surface of a shark without losing their grip and without apparently bothering the shark in any way. When the shark makes a "kill" the remoras commonly feed on the smaller scraps."

17. the investigation should NOT be conducted by . . .
a bi-partisan Congressional committee, or any other kind of Congressional committee . . . the first priority of every representative and senator is CYA -- Cover Your Ass! . . .

the investigation should be completely independent of Congress, conducted by a panel of respected Americans with absolutely no personal stake in its outcome . . . people like Bill Moyers, Gary Hart, etc. . . it shoul NOT be conducted by the Congress . . .
